There is a different way to manage this as described
by Banachek in his book 'psychological subtleties' -
bit simpler than this, they concentrate on the hand
the coin is in, and you watch their nose - it
unconsciously points to the hand that the coin is in.
I must say here that I haven't actually tried this.
For the "guessing which hand the coin is in"
trick...
initial rapport patter (nothing too involved) and
then
stay at matching, let THEM lead.
Throw in some solid ambiguities pasted over with
thick
LAYERS of milton lingo patterns. My own personal
creation for making the arm with the coin sink
down
was:
To COIN a term of the famous philosopher, KANT,
"let
all WEIGHT be burdened with the GRAVITY of
conscience!" I know you're thinking... I'm not
THE
FULL PENNY.... but it's like me saying "SEE
NOW" to a
blind man! (laughter) NOW, just HOLD ON a
moment...
til I... okay... just WEIGHT, okay whenever you
FEEL
ready.... WAIT... OKAY, GO!
and the other one to force the coin into the right
hand was:
I see you're interested in how I KNOW what I KNOW
and
you're RIGHT to question the extermely HANDY
methods
i'm using but the fact is that nobody KNOWS the
RIGHT
and true facts of the RIGHT-ings which I've read
about.. and when you break it down to the
essential
axiom of choice, WHAT'S LEFT IS WORTHLESS....
okay...
whenever you feel... RIGHT... Just go with
whatever
YOU'RE FEELING RIGHT NOW.
Don't forget to put in lots of "that's it"s
and
"Excellent"s to establish lots of nice
associations..
Messing about with this stuff is hours of fun
GUARANTEED!
enjoy it already!
Steve.

Just glanced at the site, looks cool.
Minor point.
Spotted a typo:
The Skills
1. Understanding You
Persuasion Skills will allow to understand and
master
your own thought
processes.
Should read allow you to?
That's not a mistake, but VERY well spotted!
You're in the minority! (a good thing, believe
me!)
I'll leave it to the author to explain it or not.
It's
not in my interest to explain the information he's
selling.
Steve.
